Description

record_format

cite, dc, mods, marc

Specifies format of the returned record -- cite provides a short LTS-defined record used for the Reserves Tool, dc provides a simple Dublin Core record, mods provides a MODS 3.5 record, marc provides a MARCXML record (only available for HOLLIS requests).

source

hollis, via, journal

Source of the data that is returned. If hollis or via is used, Lookup will return data from the HOLLIS or VIA catalog. If journal is used, data will be returned from a source of journal articles. The actual journal source (CrossRef or PubMed) is controlled by the id value.

id

Record identifier in the source system

If hollis is the source, the id will be system number of a single HOLLIS catalog record. With HOLLIS now being supported by ALMA, this is the MMS ID, otherwise known as the "Alma ID".

For the sake of backward compatibility of already written scripts, the old HOLLIS ("Aleph") ID continues to be supported.

If journal is the source, the id can be a DOI or PMID:-- a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) will retrieve data for a single journal article from CrossRef.org. DOI format is an alphanumeric string of arbitrary length (ex: 10.1037/a0015065). Forward slashes in a DOI must be URL-encoded as "%2f".-- a PMID (PubMed ID) will retrieve data for a single journal article from PubMed. PMID format is a numeric string (ex: 18349090).

jsonp

Callback function name

The name of the callback function to wrap around JSON data. Example: ?jsonp=ws_results

Examples

Requesting a Cite record for a DOI (10.1111/fj.1468-0262.2004.00485.x):(Note that the slash ("/") character must be URL-encoded as "%2f".)
